4H (4WD HIGH) provides extra traction, such as
driving in snow or on icy roads, or for off-road situations.
This mode is not intended for use on dry pavement.
4L (4WD LOW) uses extra gearing to provide
maximum power to all four wheels at reduced speeds.
It is intended only for off-road applications, such as
driving in deep sand or on steep grades, or while pulling
heavy objects.
Note: Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard-surfaced roads.
Doing so can produce extra noise and increase tire wear.
